| Windows update site sticks at "Checking for the latest version of the
| Windows Update software..." MS help site suggests turning off firewalls
etc,
| which I've done, but something is still blocking it. Internet Options all
| set at Default.
|
| Anyone know what the minimum set of services and start-up items is to
allow
| internet connection, if I disable others from msconfig?
|
| Thanks
